CHIEF KAHN
And the Underwriters and a Few
Facts in Connection.

The HERALD is not defending chief
Kahn from tho attack Of the underwri.
ters, when it says that he acted on
Tuesday as well under the circum-
stances, as am man could have acted.
When the Compress burned chief
Kahn was presented with Il hundred
dollars by the insurance people, as a
tribute Of their esteem in which they
held him as chief aud the fire depart
ment generally for their efficiency.
A few weeks since Mr. Munger pre-
sented the fire department with about
S35 for their cfiici, ncy at the fire
near his cotton gin factory. 4 change
of front OF the part of the insurance
people certainly looks as if they
wanted some excuse for the fire. The
HERALD does not think that response
bility should be thrown upon Chief
Kahn. Put it where it belongs-on
the system Of fire alarms. The fire.

Morning News printer who Knocked
1T the engine house doors and gave
the alarm said this morning to HER
AID reporter that he would take oath
that the man who gave the alarm
said the fire was in the Cedars. The
same fireman says that as they were
going up Main street they met DIR.
and asked him where the
fire was and he answered, "Some-
where in the Cedars." When Chief
Kahn, who did not go with the en-
gine. discovered that it was at Till

Glen Lea saloon and got policeman
TO fire his revolver to attract the at
tention of the firemen, who were in
East Dallas on the hunt for the fire.
This they heard and responded
promptly Both engines came to the
plugs about the same time and went
promptly TO work. but by this time
the whole interior of the building was
ablaze.
Bates johnson, brakeman on the
Santa Fe, says that at least three quar-

Cargo of Texas Beef TO London.

GALVESTON, Jan. 27.-Messrs. Noel
Ter g. Co.. agents, have received intel
ligence that the steamship Rowena ar
rived at London, England, with her
cargo of fresh meat in splendid condi.
tion. The Rowena will return with a
cargo of some 60OO tons of sheet tin.
A great deal of Importance is at
tached to the successful trip of the
Rowena as establishing the feasibility
of an enterprise by which Texas finds
a direct European market for her live
stock products. Upon the success or
failure of this experimental trip
would also have largely depended the
establishment of the extensive beef
packing and slaughter house indus
tries recently determined upon by the
stockmen's convention.

SAN MARCOS, Jan. PA delegation
of citizens from this place went to
Austin yesterday TO see what could
be done toward extending the lIous-

GRAND JURY REPORT.

In the circuit court of Oregon for
Clatsop county: Report of grand
jury.
To Hon. Il. J. Taylor, Judge Of said
Court:
The undersigned, your grand jury
report as follows: We have caused
the books and records of the various
county officers to be examined by a
competent expert, and he reports that
they are in q satisfactory condition,
and that the county officers are per.
forming their duties properly and
intelligently. He reports the county
Indebtedness at the present time to
be about $4,000. For further par
ticulars we refer to the able and CON-
plete report appended hereto.
We visited st. Mary's hospital,
which is the county hospital, and
found it everything that a hospital
should be. Though our visit was un-
expected everything was clean, neat
and orderly, all the unfortunate
people who are confined there well
cared for, satisfied and grateful for
VIC hlluuCbo CAClClbCu
the good sisters who have charge OF
the institution.
We found the city Jail in a satisfac-
tory condition.
The county Jail is an unsafe struct-
ure, and it seems almost impossible
to keep anybody in it who has much
disposition to get out. 1t, no doubt
meets the approval of every person
who is confined there and Who OBJ
iects to being tried for his offense.
We have used our best efforts to
bring to justice all parties violating
the salmon and game laws, but found
it impossible to obtain satisfactory
evidence upon which to indict any
one for violation of the game law.
Concerning the salmon law we
have taken such action as the evil
dence we were able to attain seemed
to warrant.

Foreman of the grand jury.

A Lively Scrimmage.

Last Friday a dispute arose at
Aberdeen between Capt. Swan of the
Nooelty and Capt. Treanor OF the
WebfoOt, as.to who was first sighted
by the tug TrGoeler. A bet was made
Of 300, which the captain of the
TrGoeIer was not able to decide,
there being not over two minutes diff.
ference at best. Later in the day
Capt. Treanor. who weighs l30 lbs,
recollected using some unparliamen-
tary language to Capt. Swan, who
weighs 230 lbs, and apologized. The
latter refused to accept the apology,
and made uncomplimentary reference
&c Treanor's lineage, which aroused
the little captains ire, and his apol-
ogy having been contemptuously re-
fused he reiterated his previous
statement, which led to fight, great
ly to the delight of the spectators.
The little captain got the big cap
tain In chancery, and disfgured his
features so that. his best friends had
difficulty in recognizing him, proving
himself, as far as science went. the
best man OF the two.

no THE LOT HOLDERs
The Greenmount Cemetery.

The notice lately published, stating the deter
mination of the Board of Managers to take entire
charge of all work in the Cemetery from and after
April l, instant, has caused application to the
Board protesting against it, on the ground that
while outside parties would be deprived of certain
profits under agreements with lotholders for keep
ing their lots in ORDER the rights of the latter to
employ whom they pleased for the purpose wonla
be interfered with.
AS stated by the present Superintendent, some
three or four thousand lots are now kept in order
by outsiders, at profit, over and above the cost
of the work, which the Superintendent estimates
at from eight to ten thousand dollars per annum !;
which is paid to some eight ten persons, who
have no interest in the Cemetery, except, perhaps
as the owners of their respective lots. This work
the Board of Managers is prepared to do on the
same terms, so that, really, the only question is
tchefher this large sum shall be paid to outsiders
inure to the benefit of the lothOlders themselves
in the maintenance of the Cemetery in an unex-
ceptionable condition, besides aiding in securing
a capital that will suffice to preserve the Cemetery
when the sales of lots shall cease, and when the
burial charges shall be insufficient for the purpose.
To meet this contingency, the Board had accu-
mulated, as appears by their report of 1882, $780,,
36l.63, which in few years would have become
100000 bad the sales of lots continued as at first
and until within few years. This source of re-
ceipts, however, having diminished as the Gene
terry filled up, it was renewed when the Cemetery
was extended to North avenue and Ensor street,
respectively. The addition, however apart from
the cost of the property, involved extensive wall
ing and heavy grading, which reduced the reserv-
ed fund to $4,000. 1t is the purpose Of the
Board of Managers to restore this to what
it was in 1882, and to 100000, or more if
deemed necessary-a policy from which they are
not disposed to be diverted to enable outsiders to
enjoy, at the expense of the lotholders, the in
come of clear profit already mentioned. And the
Board of Managers believe that they may conf
IDENTIFY rely upon the lotholders, when they under
stand the facts to uphold them in the course they
propose to pursue.
By order of the Board.
